What Are SSRS Reports?
SSRS Definition
SSRS is the acronym for SQL Server Reporting Services. It refers to the Microsoft SQL Server Services platform, which is part of the SQL server suite.
How to use SQL Reporting Services?
SSRS server data tools help transform raw data into easy-to-read documents. These documents are like snapshots of your business’s performance, presenting information in a clear and organized way. Report users can visualize data trends, monitor key metrics, and support decision-making processes.
How Epicor Leverages SSRS Reports
Seamless SSRS integration into the Epicor platform allows users to define role-based access, create reports and customize reports that matter to your business. Here’s how it works.
Accessing SSRS Tools & Reports Folder
When you log into your Epicor ERP system, you can access SSRS reports directly within the application. Epicor simplifies enterprise reporting using SSRS by offering easy-to-use “Report Styles” and options.
Choosing the Right Report Type
Epicor’s report builder provides a variety of default templates (Report Styles) and options tailored to different aspects of your business. Whether you need SSRS financial reports, printed reports, inventory summaries, sales analyses, invoices, barcodes or labels, Epicor has you covered.
Setting Up SSRS Reports for Your Needs
There is no need to worry if the default reports don’t perfectly match your requirements. With Epicor SSRS custom reports, creating an SSRS report that meets your company’s unique needs is easy.
For example, you can choose which data sources to include, how it’s presented, and even add your company logo, colors and other branding for a professional touch. All you need to do is copy a “Report Style”, download it, and make your changes with Microsoft’s SSRS Report Builder.
Then, you can upload the new report to the copied report style and start generating advanced SSRS reports with your Epicor database. You can even have different types of reports in SSRS for the same report, allowing other users to have their own unique version.
Real-Time Data Updates—Dynamic Reports in SSRS
Epicor and Microsoft’s Report Server work together to ensure that you’re always working with up-to-date information. There is no need to manually refresh data. It automatically extracts the latest data from your Epicor system to create a real-time, interactive SSRS report.
Sharing Insights and Power BI With SSRS Reports
SSRS reports are not just for your eyes only. You can effortlessly share them with your team members or management, ensuring everyone can access the same actionable insights. You can backup SSRS reports and export them in a variety of formats, such as PDF or Excel, for easy distribution.
The Benefits of Using SQL Server Reporting Services for Business Intelligence
